The Broadsheet: September 16th

Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Unilever has its eye on Jessica Alba’s Honest Company, rumors of a cabinet post for Sheryl Sandberg heat up, and Sandra Bland’s family reaches a settlement with Texas authorities. Have a peaceful weekend.

EVERYONE’S TALKING

• A sorrowful settlement. Sandra Bland’s mother, Geneva Reed-Veal, has reached a $1.9 million settlement with Texas authorities in the family’s wrongful death lawsuit. Bland died in the Waller County jail in July 2015, after originally being pulled her over for failing to signal a lane change. While, as Quartz notes, “there will be no serious consequences for any individuals implicated Bland’s death,” the settlement does includes significant changes to law enforcement practices, including an on-call nurse stationed at the jail for electronic cell checks. “People won’t be satisfied with just money,” Reed-Veal told Buzzfeed. “We need to make sure that they are making changes that will save lives.”
